My once genetically well rounded flock

[Squab81]

I was encouraged to post pictures of my birds here, and start the genetics conversation.

For your best understanding i should break up my birds by posting pictures on my albums page. ..... a "lost last winter" album and a "these are still mine" album.

So i guess im going to get started on that, and here is the link you can preview till i get it organized....

Thanks for posting the link to your photos here in the Genetics forum. I think our members will be quite interested in a number of your birds.

You have/had some great looking birds. I especially like some of the dominant opal and dilute indigos. You got me on the bird on page 4 on the top left. What is that light checked or sooty barred bird on the left? Is it just an ash-red griz??? or something else. It's really pretty

yeah buddy i'm with you on that one, that pigeon is amazing :O

[MaryOfExeter]

That bird looks kind of yellow to me. Either way it's pretty!

[中国小黑鸽]

thank you for giving the link .your pigeons are perfect ,I like the opal

[Victor]

Jacob, you have some beautiful pigeons. I like the brown one in #35 particularly.

[Squab81]

Frank, i think your talking about this picture here?



Rachelle on the left i believe to be either faded brown or qualmond brown.
... Well thats what you said about her in an email a couple years ago.

[Squab81]

You would also have to point out the dilute indigos... i was aware the flock had both genetic qualities, but not that they had crossed over.

Thanks Victor,



Appears to be a dilute recessive red... but im not sure what genetics he received from his mother.

1) The bird on page 9 bottom right appears to be dilute indigo bar.

2) Rachelle is gorgeous - I remember now, I had to send her pic to a few friends and that was the consensus.

Jake, I can't contribute anything to a genetics discussion since we just rehab feral (and lost) pigeons but I have to say you have the most beautiful birds I think I ever saw.

I'm especially sad you lost Rachelle. What a truly gorgeous bird she was and I know you miss her a lot. Lily is another that caught my eye and she is very beautiful.

I love the fact that you name your birds - we do too.

Thank you for a real treat. I enjoyed looking at your albums.

I just remembered that we do have an opal who is quite beautiful - feral baby from an attic!

You have some excellent loooking racing homers in both colors and type.
I have some great colors and patterns in my birds but I'm still improving the type. You can view mine at http://community.webshots.com/user/sirpigeon
